One of the best parts of this event is the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus by lobster boat! People line up by the water to welcome the jolly couple. It’s an exciting event for all ages.

Santa’s arrival by lobster boat is certainly proof that he doesn’t always travel by a sleigh pulled by reindeer! This must be his preferred mode of transportation when he visits Marblehead.
